NFL Draft '09: Pick #173 - Javon Ringer, RB, Michigan State

I have truly not been disappointed with one pick so far. We're ruling

 

Great pick. Best of the draft so far. Bye bye LenWhale

 

why no thread on mcrath or sylar?

 

Pretty solid 5th round pickup.

 

This dude is amazing. Has great balance and power.

 

Looks like a ton of folks nailed this pick in the draft contest.

I noticed at least four people with the pick, and I think everyone was within one round of being dead on.

Lol @ whoever in the draft contest said we would pick Alex Mack in the 7th round.

 

Doesn't look good for Henry. I think Ringer will definitely be our 3rd RB and get some carries this year.

 

SUMMARY: With the 173rd selection of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have taken RB Javon Ringer from Michigan State. One of the true warriors of the game, Ringer sometimes looks like he has emerged from a fierce battle on the football field. The tough "old school" player proved throughout his career that he is perfectly capable of being a complementary back or one that a team can saddle up and ride to victory as its featured runner. Ringer has undergone two major surgeries on his knees, along with several other minor procedures, yet, when he is counted out, he just appears out on the football field. The coaching staff is still amazed that after undergoing surgery to repair torn knee ligaments in late September, 2006, he was back on the field carrying the ball just a little over a month later.
